Mia Fevola reveals stunning health transformation

The 22-year-old influencer has revealed she is the “heaviest, happiest and healthiest” she has ever been in a brutally raw Instagram post.

Mia Fevola has revealed she is the “heaviest, happiest and healthiest” she has ever been.

Mia, a Melbourne make-up artist and influencer who is the daughter of Brendan Fevola, shared two photos of herself in an Instagram post on Monday.

One photo was from 2017 while the other had been taken recently, with the 22-year-old writing: “I always see so much emphasis on weight loss on social media and not enough on weight gain.

“So many people associate weight loss with happiness, and I just wanted to say that I am the heaviest, happiest and healthiest I have ever been! For those who need to hear it!”

Last year Mia revealed she had been diagnosed with coeliac disease – a long-term auto-immune disorder which sees the body react abnormally to gluten. It means she struggles to maintain a healthy weight.

In an Instagram post, Mia said she had been shocked and scared by the diagnosis as she had “never realised the seriousness” until her doctor explained what it was.

“It’s also the reason why I can’t put on weight. My doctor explained that if my body isn’t absorbing nutrients like calcium, my bones will be brittle and by the time I’m 40 it can lead to osteoporosis and other serious health problems,” she wrote.

“The reason this is such a shock to me is because my whole teenage years I’ve been eating such an intense carb overloading diet, I would eat six pieces of bread a day, pasta, etc in an effort to gain weight, when in reality it was doing the opposite effect and causing nutrient deficiencies, so obviously it’s a huge lifestyle change and I feel as though every meal I eat contains gluten.”

Mia’s weight also saw her targeted with cruel comments from trolls who would tell her to “just eat something”, she revealed in a 2020 Instagram post.

She had managed to gain 8kg by doing weight and resistance training, as well as “consistently eating the right food”.

“Every day on social media I see so much emphasis on weight loss, dieting, etc. I struggled to find other people that had the same issue as me, desperately trying to gain weight,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I would have people online and in person telling me to just eat something, when I was eating the same sized meals as my dad.

“After years of trial and error I think I’m finally starting to figure out what works for me.”
